Hey cool kids, can I sit with y’all???? I hope you’re well! Yesterday, I hosted a dinner thing with a friend, and someone said the nicest thing to me in gratitude and it took everything I had to not start crying! People who really work to see me for who I am? I don’t know what to do with that. I’m glad it happened, though, I really needed to hear it. Friends matter so much, y’all.
And now, for some cute news from the week.
+ Crissle West has earned her time in the spotlight.
+ Carmen Maria Machado on Star Trek: TNG
+ D’Arcy Carden and Abbi Jacobson are set to star in League of Their Own series on Amazon!?
+ U-Haul knows about U-Hauling!!!!!
We miss you, Nicolette! 🧡 But we understand, when the time is right, we'll be here! 👍 https://t.co/3b4ccISQZ6

+ Wow, science has discovered that trans people who want and get gender affirmation surgeries have better mental health in the long-term. What a surprise.
+ Anna Akana of Netflix’s Let it Snow (the film that made famous Jewish film critic Drew Gregory believe in Christmas and love) talks about LGBTQ representation in the film.
“Growing up, I never really saw myself in characters,” Akana says. “I was always like, ‘Oh, I’m trying to identify with the straight white man in this film because that’s all there is.’ But it’s really great to see something not only portrayed so diverse, but also inclusive romantically, so I hope people are able to take away some form of themselves in it.”
+ An interview with Stevie Boebi, a queer Youtube sex educator.
+ The Personals app (rebranded as Lex) is making waves in the queer dating scene.
+ Meryl Streep is finally getting the chance she deserves: to be Co-Chair of the 2020 Met Gala
+ Witchfest is making witchcraft radical and political for some
+ More witch news! Lindy West is reclaiming the witch hunt: “Sure, if you insist…I’m a witch, and I’m hunting you.”
That’s all I got today pals. What good things did you observe last week? What good things are you gonna look for next week? Maybe, instead of crying because it’s dark at 5 pm (me), we can like…take this as an opportunity to see more stars, or honestly, even to go to bed early! OR take a bath, because it’s cold! You deserve all the good things. All of them. Love you so much, see you again next week.
